The SGE Program was established to allow industry employees to
work alongside OSHA during Voluntary Protection Programs' (VPP) onsite evaluations. Not only does
this innovative program benefit OSHA by supplementing its on-site evaluation teams, but it gives
industry and government an opportunity to work together and share views and ideas.
Qualified volunteers from VPP sites are eligible to participate in the SGE program. These volunteers
must be approved by OSHA and funded by their companies to participate. After submitting an
application and completing the required
training, these volunteers are sworn in as SGEs and are
approved to assist as VPP on-site evaluation team members.
As VPP grows, the support of SGEs will continue to be a critical component of the programs. The SGE
Program encompasses the spirit of VPP - industry, labor, and government cooperation. This
cooperation embodies the idea of continuous improvement, which allows SGEs to bring a unique
perspective to the team effort and take back to their sites ideas and best practices to further
improve worker protections.
